Nuclear Corrosion

Nuclear Corrosion: Research, Progress and Challenges, part of the "e;Green Book series of the EFC, builds upon the foundations of the very first book published in this series in 1989 ("e;Number 1 - Corrosion in the Nuclear Industry). This newest volume provides an overview on state-of-the-art research in some of the most important areas of nuclear corrosion. Chapters covered include aging phenomena in light water reactors, reprocessing plants, nuclear waste disposal, and supercritical water and liquid metal systems. This book will be a vital resource for both researchers and engineers working within the nuclear field in both academic and industrial environments. - Discusses industry related aspects of materials in nuclear power generation and how these materials react with the environment- Provides comprehensive coverage of the topic as written by noted experts in the field- Includes coverage of nuclear waste corrosion
